CMPD is looking for this suspect in a Saturday evening robbery.
Police in Charlotte are on the lookout for the suspect who nearly stabbed a Family Dollar store cashier in a Saturday night robbery attempt.

The suspect then fled the scene in a black Chevy SUV that could have been a Tahoe. Luckily, the cashier wasn’t hurt.
